Eagle Eye University | Battery Data Analysis Course

Eagle Eye University offers a variety of classes throughout the year in battery management, maintenance and testing, data analysis, safety and IEEE recommended best practices. Our students obtain hands on training in each of our courses and receive a certification upon completion. The courses are located at our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI.

Our next course is September 7-8th and will be on battery data analysis. This course will outline each of the steps required to prepare and carry out a discharge test in accordance with IEEE recommended practices. It will include hands on training during which both a constant power capacity discharge and a service discharge using a typical substation load profile will be carried out.

This two-day course will be split up by measurable battery parameters and data analytics. During the first day, the students will learn the importance of discharge testing and the discharge test types. They will discuss operational requirements and perform an initial battery condition assessment, test set up, and discharge test. To end the first day, they will begin learning about data analysis. The second day of the course will continue data analysis, and they will work together to carry out a capacity and service test. Before each hands on test, the stude
nts will be given the load bank to be used for that test. After the tests, the students will calculate the battery capacity based on the results.

Attendees in different industries will leave with a better understanding of battery discharge testing and analysis. The certification the students receive after the completed course can be filed for continuing education units (CEUs).  You can learn more information about the course here, as well as contact us to book your spot.

Importance of Electrolyte Level Monitors Being NERC PRC-005-2 Compliant



One of the most critical roles of utility companies is to ensure the health and protection of their Bulk Electric System (BES). Without proper battery testing and preventative maintenance, the Bulk Electric System is compromised. As a result, utility companies can suffer from significant revenue loss, possible safety hazards for their workers and more. To ensure the negative effects of a compromised system won’t occur, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has been formed to enforce the reliability standards of all battery monitoring and testing equipment. In addition, NERC PRC-005-2 requires utilities worldwide to document and implement programs for the maintenance of all protection systems affecting the reliability of the BES.

To comply with NERC PRC-005-2 guidelines, Eagle Eye has created the ELM- Series Battery Electrolyte Level Monitor for power utilities nationwide. The ELM is a reliable dual sensor system that monitors the electrolyte level and temperature of individual flooded batteries.  The ELM-Series utilizes low-cost, easy to install sensors that will send out an alarm on low electrolyte level, or higher than normal temperature. Our electrolyte level monitor is also designed to monitor any flooded battery system regardless of voltage and amp-hour. Furthermore, this is a 24/7/365 protection for a real time solution for monitoring battery electrolyte and temperature levels.

Our PRC-005-2 Operation and Maintenance Compliance training is designed to include a review of battery maintenance fundamentals, inspection methods both manual and automated, interpretation of the data collected and the required record keeping. This course is intended for all personnel with the responsibility for the implementation and operation of a compliant battery monitoring program.

How Protected are your Battery Rooms?

Hydrogen Gas Detector with Smoke Detection, Loss of Power, Temperature and Intrusion Alarms! 

Eagle Eye Power Solutions is introducing the HGD-3000 Hydrogen Gas Detector – the ultimate fixed hydrogen gas detector for any battery room. The HGD-3000 protects from hydrogen gas buildup while detecting smoke, temperature, loss of power and intrusion.

The HGD-3000 was designed for unattended battery installations or remote shelters containing gassing lead acid batteries and charging systems - most commonly found in the telecommunications and utility sectors. Other applications for hydrogen gas detection include forklift and golf cart charging areas, data centers, mission critical facilities, fire departments, and other battery charging rooms.

The HGD-3000 Has Three Main Functions: 


Hydrogen Gas Detection
Attach the HGD-3000 to the wall, ceiling, or optional junction box using the mounting holes at the top and bottom of the detector box. The HGD-3000 will turn on an exhaust fan when hydrogen gas levels reach 1% and will alarm at 2%. This alarm consists of a local 80db horn, a flashing red LED, and a dry contact switch closure for remote alarming.
Hydrogen Gas Detector
HGD-3000 Hydrogen Gas Detector

Smoke Detection
The photoelectric smoke sensor detects minute combustion products from smoldering wire insulation, battery cases, and other material. When smoke is detected, a distinctive alarm is emitted from the 80db horn and a separate dry contact switch is activated. At this time, the exhaust fan is inhibited in order to deny the fire increased oxygen from outside air.

Temperature, Loss of Power, & Intrusion
During normal operation and in the absence of an alarm condition, an internal thermostat will turn on the exhaust fan at a preset temperature to reduce heat buildup in the room. Loss of power to the unit will also generate a dry contact alarm. Additionally, an optional infrared intrusion alarm will trigger a silent dry contact switch.

Lead-acid batteries on charge emit hydrogen gas after reaching the 80% recharge point. When mixed with enough air, hydrogen becomes a highly flammable gas that can ignite easily with just a spark, destroying equipment and harming personnel. The lower explosive level (LEL) for hydrogen is 4.1% by volume. The dangers of hydrogen gas explosion are eliminated by using the HGD-3000 hydrogen gas detector.

Locating Ground Faults in DC Systems

Ground Fault Detector for Utilities

Eagle Eye Power Solution's GFL-1000 ground fault locator is an essential instrument to pinpoint faulty grounding where electrical cables have breakage and lost to the ground. The GFL-1000 is an essential preventative maintenance tool that increases the reliability of electrical equipment.

A ground fault is an unintentional electrical path between a power source and a grounded service, and can occur at any time. They often occur when equipment is damaged or defective. Ground faults often go unnoticed and can cause problems with plant production processes. Ground faults cause serious damage to equipment and to production processes, and also create health and safety risks to personnel.

The Eagle Eye GFL-1000 pinpoints ground faults by accurately measuring grounding resistance and distributing capacitance. Based on different distributing capacitance, it selects the right output frequency for testing - enabling it to be used in a variety of DC systems – including DC systems of high resistance. The GFL-1000 is built based on years of field experience in different DC systems to fast-detect, track and locate virtual grounding faults saving hours of costly troubleshooting. The GFL-1000 is particularly useful in any industry where supply of power for operating measurement, communication and control equipment is critical – including locomotive, telecom, power utilities and other industrial facilities.

Utilities commonly use the GFL-1000 to meet NERC compliance. The GFL-1000 is recommended by NERC PRC-005-2 to inspect for unintentional grounds for Vented Lead-Acid, Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid and NiCad batteries every four calendar months. In many cases, the first ground that appears on a battery is a nonissue. Unintentional grounds that appear on the opposite pole become problematic, and it is up to the user to determine if corrective actions are needed on detected unintentional DC grounds to reduce any possible consequences.
